    <p>
    Xfaction can be accessed from either a web browser or an instant messaging client. The help below covers both approaches but if you are using Xfaction for the first time and have not yet created an account you should log in and register your account with a web browser before using an instant messenger client. This will allow you to review our <a href="aup.html">acceptable use policy</a>.
